Prostate cancer is common cancer that occurs in males and develops in the prostate gland (a part of the reproductive system). The prostate gland is located between the penis and the bladder. As a man matures, prostate size may alter. Prostate cancer is a serious disease, and most men with prostate cancer are diagnosed before the disease has spread outside the prostate gland.

Types of prostate cancer:

Adenocarcinomas are a common kind of prostate cancer that develops from the cell where prostate fluid gets mixed up with semen. Other types of cancer include,

  • Small cell carcinomas
  • Neuroendocrine tumors (other than small cell carcinomas)
  • Transitional cell carcinomas
  • Sarcomas

Symptoms:

Men who do have symptoms might notice the following:

  • Pain or burning while urinating ( dysuria)
  • Difficulty in starting urination
  • The weak or interrupted flow of urine
  • Urinating often, especially during the night
  • Blood in the semen or urine (hematospermia)
  • Pain in the hips, back, or pelvis that is constant
  • Pain during ejaculation (erectile dysfunction)
  • Bowel control issues (fecal incontinence)

Advanced symptoms:

  • Bone pain
  • Tiredness
  • Sudden weight loss

Risk factors of prostate cancer:

Some research has discovered several prostate cancer risk factors

  • Race and ethnicity: Black or African people are more likely to develop prostate cancer.
  • Genetics: Men with Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer) and by inherited mutations of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers in a few families.
  • Family history: Prostate cancer runs in some families, which implies that there may be an inherited or genetic fact.
  • Smoking
  • Chemical exposure
  • Obesity
  • Vasectomy
  • Sexually transmitting infection
  • Inflammation of the prostate gland (Prostatitis)

Stages of prostate cancer:

Understanding the prostate cancer stage can help a person to prepare for what to expect and treatment choices. Cancer staging is complex, and it includes,

  • Stage I: Cancer cells are only present in the prostate gland.
  • Stage II: Cancer cells have not yet spread from the prostate.
  • Stage III: Cancer cells may have spread to surrounding tissues.
  • Stage IV: Cancer cells may have spread to distant body parts.

Diagnosis:

Early prostate cancer frequently has no symptoms, but screening might find abnormalities t that indicate cancer. Diagnosis test includes,

  • Imaging tests, blood tests, urine tests, and physical examinations.
  • Transrectal ultrasound involves inserting a probe with a camera in the rectum.
  • A needle biopsy is a method where a tissue sample is examined under a microscope.

Your doctor may test and diagnose prostate cancer with a medical history examination, blood test, or imaging test. Depending on the underlying issues, prostate cancer is treated with different methods. Treatment of prostate cancer includes therapies such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy by infusion, radical (open) prostatectomy, robotic or laparoscopic prostatectomy, some more surgeries, and active surveillance.
